Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever head-to-head record
The Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever have participated evenly in their previous five meetings. Last season, Indiana demonstrated their ability to defeat the Mercury on a regular basis with three tight victories, including a 98-89 triumph on August 17, 2024.
Phoenix, however, recovered well on August 8, 2025, winning 95-60, demonstrating that they can dominate a game when their defense is strong. The Fever won 107-101 in a shootout just a week ago, demonstrating that this game can go either way based on who gets hot offensively.
Given this history, if one team’s defense takes control of the game, it may either be a statement victory or another high-scoring contest.
